Monarch Gallery Artist - Sandra Packer

Watercolor, Acrylic, Mixed Media

I work in watercolor and acrylics, but often use mixed media to create collages. 

My artwork emphasizes a strong sense of design and color. I love to show movement, contrast, line, and emotion in my work. I would describe my creations as quick emotional responses to things I see and feel. I enjoy producing works that are more impressions of what I see than realistic representations. I try to make the viewer react to my work on their own level and just enjoy it! Sometimes I lean towards abstraction while other works are quite realistic. It just all depends on my mood at the time I create!

My career dream has become a reality. I am a member of an artist’s co-op studio called Studio 7.5 in a fabulous space above a coffee house in old Canal Winchester. This antique building provides great light for artists in an exciting, creative atmosphere. I feel like the sky is the limit!!!

Subject matter: lots of nature related subjects, but like abstraction
Career: K-12 art educator (retired), professional artist currently
Education: BS in Art Education, Capital University ; MA in Art Education, Ohio State University
